Horoscopes

For Thursday, Oct. 9, 2003. Those with birthdays today:

Others seek you with frequency and direction. You have a lot of people coming toward you, initiating a very special and important year. Your popularity soars, making nearly everything possible. If you are attached, your relationship will flow in a new direction if you allow your sweetie to express him- or herself more. You dote more on your significant other as well.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

  • Suddenly, a partner becomes far easier and lighter in his or her behavior. What seemed like a hassle eases up if you are willing to share the issue with those around you. Tonight: Get a good night’s sleep.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

  • Be an observer rather than a player right now. Brainstorming with a boss draws some interesting and provocative reactions. Tonight: Where the action is.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

  • You might want to go that extra step to make associates relaxed. Consider bringing in doughnuts, or just try a friendlier attitude. None of this will work, however, if you’re looking for a pay raise or promotion. Tonight: Where your friends are.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

  • You follow through, taking a natural leadership position. Your creativity starts flourishing, as well as your natural ability to understand yourself. Tonight: A must show.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

  • Look within your immediate circle to find the answers you seek. You might want to take an overview or try something totally different in order to gain more insight. Tonight: Read between the lines.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

  • Deal with one other person carefully, understanding more of what you want from a situation immediately around you. Tonight: Where the action is.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

  • Reach out for others, though you don’t really have to. Trust that others will find you whether you want them to or not. Tonight: Applaud another person as he or she takes the stage.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

  • Venus drops into your sign adding to your appeal and desirability. You might not exactly be sure about what is coming down with someone at a distance. Tonight: Work late.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

  • With Venus moving into Scorpio, in the next few weeks you will need to check out the people around you with greater care. Not everyone will be what he or she seems — look especially at new acquaintances. Tonight: Kick up your heels and play.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

  • Through your hard work, you achieve a lot more than you realize. Circle your wagons around work associates to brainstorm and come up with ideas. Tonight: Mosey home and relax.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

  • Keep asking questions. Reach out for those in your immediate environment. Tonight: At a favorite spot.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

  • * Experience more of what you want by putting yourself in another’s shoes. You could be quite surprised at how others respond when you give them this extra bit of understanding. Tonight: Your treat.
